Chapter 12, Problem 12.3YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To calculate the formal charge on the carbene C.

Concept introduction:

A species which contains a carbon atom that has a lone pair of electrons and two bonds is termed as a carbene. Having three total electron groups, that C atom lacks an octet and is sp2 hybridized: the lone pair of electrons occupies a hybrid orbital, leaving the p orbital empty. Thus, these carbenes resemble carbocations and are generally highly electron poor.

In which structure is the bromine on an allylic carbon?
Markovnikov's rule can best be explained by considering *   a) the number of hydrogen atoms attached to each of the double bond carbons atoms.   b) the number of alkyl groups attached to each of the double bond carbons atoms.   c) the relative stabilities of the carbocations that can be formed from the alkene.   d) the spatial arrangement of the groups around the double bond.   e) All of the above are good explanations for Markovnikov's rule.
